Long legs wrapped in silk
Spinning poi and tangled lines
No care about the practical for her
As she learns to suspend in air trusting
Her body to be
Fearless
Such balance as she moves forward
And will learn to be
Free
And
How to fly
And he, independent, solo boy, learns to keep
Time, rely on others to fill in
Spaces
Become part of many as they rely on him as he depends
On them
To make drums sing
Conjure thunder boom
Celebration
Team without competition
Cohesion and freedom
A whole more than the sum of its parts
Parts aware of how they are the whole
Each
Solitary
Together
And they
Paint wings to comfort
Or delight express
Grief connect
Stand by skulls spun of sweetness
And encourage to do what you will
And guide, replacing paints, and brushes to clean
Then parade with all, joined in travel round
From undefined to something else
